`SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
i koped this from an emial forwarded to me by chuling.and it strucked me HOW true things it truly is.its written by a young girl who is dying of terminal disease.okae.so i din really pay attention to the details.but the poem was really touching.i guess we always take for granted that we are ETERNALLY young.how sad that is, for it is NOT the truth.maybe its time i stop and take a look at we have accomplished in our short span of living.maybe we will find out the reason why we are rushing thru life.look at the number of frens we haf simply lost thru the lack of communication.
to quote lijing frm her blog(ok, maybe i lifted the whole chunk off.:P).....
wad is it that keeps pple apart and wad is it that brings them together? why do some pple get along so well and some others just hate each other?
WHY DOES THE TRUTH HURT, AND WHY DO LIES SATISFY? why do some pple switch personalities around different pple, while others are sincere? what makes a person wanna butter another, and others who speak their mind freely?
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE WANNA ACCEPT THE SURFACE ANSWERS AND DISMISS THE BEYOND-THE-SURFACE ANSWERS THAT CONTAINS MORE DEPTH? why do some pple just hate others for their guts? why is it that there is no freedom of expression in certain areas, must there always be censorship? what does a person gain from bearing grudges? what is the point of bearing grudges?
WHY SHLD A PERSON BE SO CALCULATIVE? what makes one so jaded? what makes one so self-absorbed? what constitutes service? why do people not realise what they haf and be thankful for them?
WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS? what makes a person good and others bad? what keeps a person in the right track and not straying off? what makes a person able to think of others before oneself? what makes a person accepting of others? why do people dislike certain pple?
WHY IS THERE DISCRIMINATIONS? why is there racism? what makes one superior and another inferior?
IS THERE TRUE DEMOCRACY? what constitutes true democracy?
WHAT IS LIFE?those in bold are certain things that reflects what i went thru recently.or rather, not went thru.but keeps recurring in my thoughts.things went abit out of my imagination recently.i guess these questions that i bolded just somehow reinterate those problems that is so obvious in EVERYONE's life.i believe at some point of time, everyone would go through this kinda thing; questioning about life.
no, im NOT in depression.i dun plan to die.i just happen to be curioous.why is life always evolving our these few problems?did the creator of life thinks that this is FUN? i just WONDER....
